In a world that constantly tells us who we should be, finding our true identity can feel like an uphill battle.

Combating Imposter Syndrome and Career Uncertainty with Human Design Nov 13, 2024

What is it that truly drives you? What if your work could be a reflection of your unique purpose, aligning your deepest values with what you do every day? Many of us struggle with feelings of inadequacy and imposter syndrome, wondering if we’re really in the right place or living up to our true potential. Imagine a path where you uncover your natural strengths, connect with your authentic self, and let go of the pressure to be someone you’re not. When career and purpose align, work becomes more than a job—it becomes a fulfilling extension of who you are, empowering you to face challenges with confidence and clarity. Embracing this alignment can transform how you navigate your career, letting purpose guide you toward both fulfillment and success.

In this episode, we talk about how human design could be a tool to achieve your dreams and find your motivation and purpose in your work with a returning guest, Zach Carlsen. Zach has been coaching and educating professionally for the last decade. The core and foundation of his work is human design, a modern science containing ancient systems for exploring the nature of being. He holds advanced academic degrees in pedagogy, literature, and French, as well as certifications from Gallup Inc. in Clifton Strengths coaching and SSC in human design coaching. In 2021, he obtained his master coach certification from Elementum Coaching Institute.

Have you been feeling stuck, anxious, and disconnected from yourself? Anxiety is a real challenge that many women grapple with, impacting both their emotional and physical well-being.

What We Can Learn from Dream Visitations & Metaphysical Experiences Oct 30, 2024

Have you ever woken up from a dream feeling as though a deceased loved one just visited you but brushed it off as just a regular dream? Sometimes, differentiating dream visitations from ordinary dreams can be challenging. However, unlike typical dreams, these encounters leave you with an undeniable sense of peace, love, and closure rather than confusion or unease. Often, many recall conversations or direct messages from their loved ones, along with a clear sense of their presence. The dream may also include subtle signs, such as a familiar scent or symbol, making the connection feel unmistakable.

In this episode, we discuss metaphysical experiences, how to distinguish regular dreams from visitation dreams, who is more prone to having this experience, and how to start asking spirits for signs with a returning guest, Lea Morgan. Lea is a psychic medium who offers mediumship and intuitive guidance readings. After a career in advertising and interior design, Lea couldn’t shake the pull to fully open up to and understand her intuitive gifts.

Her story is one that shows how spirit can guide you throughout your life by providing the opportunities and experiences needed to hone your skills and ultimately be of service to others. Lee hopes to normalize the perception of psychic work by sharing her own journey openly through workshops, interviews, and information on her website.

Standout Quotes:

“A lot of why we have difficulties in life is that we feel apart, different, and separated, but the more we realize we share the same experiences, the more we can focus on our strengths, best selves, and the life that is meant for us.” [07:45]
“Our power for being our truest selves is rooted in feeling comfortable in who we are; not sharing your truth is minimizing your truth.” [10:55]
“You can request signs; spirit communication is not one-way, it’s a two-way street, and they love it when we talk back or ask for help.” [32:47]
“Even if you feel like you can’t share it, have faith that your experiences are real even if you can’t explain them.” [47:44]

Accountability and (Finally) Getting Out of Your Own Way Oct 23, 2024

Sometimes, the biggest obstacle standing between us and the life we truly want is ourselves. We get caught up in the expectations of others, seeking external validation and fulfillment, all while losing sight of what really matters to us. Accountability, both to ourselves and to others, is key to breaking this cycle.

For so many women, the symptoms of menopause and perimenopause—such as joint pain, fatigue,
sleep disturbances, and hot flashes—can significantly impact their quality of life. Myofascial release,

release can be an option to help you navigate and alleviate some of these symptoms with a return

motorcycle accident changed her life. She is now dedicated to helping others live pain-free existences

Transform Your Idea of Self-Worth with Reset Breath Work Oct 02, 2024

Have you been feeling disconnected from yourself, stuck in old patterns, or weighed down by unresolved emotions? Reset breathwork offers a powerful way to transform your sense of self-worth by helping you release stored emotional energy from your body. Unlike other practices, reset breathwork allows you to process emotions without getting caught up in the stories or memories attached to them. This creates space for healing, deeper self-awareness, and a renewed sense of connection to your inner strength. And the most beautiful experience is that as you drop into your body and let go of emotional blockages, you start to rebuild your beliefs, cultivate self-trust, and align with your true potential.

In this episode, we talk about reset breath work, why it’s so effective, and how it can help you drop into your body and reconnect with yourself with a returning guest, Kate. Kate is a business and embodiment coach who describes herself as an inner power activator on a mission to help women reclaim the power within to develop their businesses from a place of inner strength. With a master's degree in coaching and certification in over 20 modalities, including inner child work, parts work, and breathwork, Kate has deeply invested in her spirituality and credits Tarot with saving her life by deepening her connection to her inner voice.

For the past seven years, she has used Tarot to help clients quickly access deeper insights, lower their defences, tap into their intuition, and clear away the blocks holding them back. Through the processes of embodying clarity, rebuilding beliefs, and reintegrating parts, Kate creates a dynamic space for solo-led women to reclaim their voices, stand in their unshakable worth, and make business decisions aligned with their highest selves.

“If you are feeling stuck and stagnant, disconnected from your body, or stuck in a pattern that is holding you back from doing what you desire to do, breath work is key.” [22:57]
“If you want to experience the power of who you are at your core and get to know what you’re capable of reset breath work is for you.” [24:18]

The Role of Resourcing in EMDR & Healing Trauma Sep 18, 2024

Resourcing, though often overlooked, is a vital part of your healing journey in EMDR therapy. It provides you with emotional tools and coping strategies that help you feel grounded and secure as you begin to process and heal trauma. By developing positive internal "resources"—like calming visualizations, empowering memories, or sensations of safety—you can tap into your own inner strength when emotions feel overwhelming. These resources serve as anchors, helping you stay centered and in control. Whether you're in therapy or facing life's daily challenges, resourcing empowers you to reconnect with yourself, regulate your emotions, and take meaningful steps toward healing.

In this episode, we continue our discussion of EMDR with a special focus on resourcing, what it is, and how it can support those undergoing EMDR therapy or who want to regulate their emotions and respond to life challenges with a returning guest, Jen Baumgold. Jen is a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist who specializes in trauma treatment. She is certified in EMDR and works with clients to help untangle the knots of trauma while finding a path toward healing and resilience. After graduating with her master's in social work, Jen began her career at the New York Fire Department counseling service unit, where she worked until 2016. During her time there, she provided crucial mental health support to FDYN members and their families.

Finding Spiritual Connection & Healing Through Community Sep 11, 2024

Do you feel like your spiritual journey has left you longing for a deeper connection in a fast-paced world? In the rush of daily life, spirituality can often feel distant or difficult to grasp, leaving us yearning for something more. This is where the power of community comes in. Within a spiritual community, the search for meaning takes on new depth, offering a space where we can explore our beliefs alongside others who share our quest. It’s in this collective experience that you find not only support and encouragement but also a renewed sense of purpose and belonging, reminding you that your spiritual journey is both personal and communal, deeply enriched by the presence of others.

In this episode, we talk about connection, community, and their role in a spiritual and healing journey with a returning guest, Rev. Lizzie McManus Dail. Lizzie has lived all over the world with her boots now rooted in Austin, Texas, where she is living her dream as the founder of Jubilee Episcopal Church. Lizzie is passionate about the evangelism of a God who makes each of us for joy, which is why you might see her doing silly dances and talking about church history on Instagram and TikTok with her 80K followers.

As a graduate of Mt. Holyoke College, Lizzie brought a passion for intersectional feminism and queer theology to her studies at Duke Divinity School and Seminary of the Southwest. It was her time in both Massachusetts and North Carolina that brought her into the Episcopal church, where she was ordained in 2020. While grateful for her academic formation, she still swears most things she learned about being a priest she learned from 5 plus years of working in the service industry and access to the arts in her public high school.

Nurturing Intuition: Using Human Design to Empower Parents and Children Aug 21, 2024

Are you a parent wanting to connect better with your children and grow together? Human design can be the missing tool in your parenting arsenal. It is a system that combines astrology, the I Ching, the Kabbalah, and the chakra system to create a unique chart for each person. With human design knowledge, parents can better recognize and support their children's natural strengths and inclinations and help them align with their true nature, fostering confidence and self-awareness. On the other hand, when children grow up knowing their human design, it helps them understand why they might feel or act differently from others and reassures them that their unique traits are valuable. Parents who use human design to nurture their child's intuition can create a more harmonious and supportive home environment. This approach encourages open communication and mutual respect, allowing children to develop a strong sense of self and navigate the world more quickly and confidently.
In this episode, our return guest, Zach Carlsen, will do a live reading of Chandler’s kids to demonstrate how human design can help parents better connect and communicate with their kids and support them as they grow. Zach has been coaching and educating professionally for the last decade. The core and foundation of his work is human design, a modern science containing ancient systems for exploring the nature of being. He holds advanced academic degrees in pedagogy, literature, and French, as well as certifications from Gallup Inc. in Clifton Strengths coaching and SSC in human design coaching. In 2021, he obtained his master coach certification from Elementum Coaching Institute.

The Power of Myofascial Release for Women's Wellbeing Aug 07, 2024

The Power of Myofascial Release for Women's Wellbeing

Myofascial release is a type of therapy aimed at relieving tension and pain in the body's muscles and connective tissues. This therapy involves gentle, sustained pressure on the fascial tissues to help improve movement and reduce discomfort. Fascia is a type of connective tissue that surrounds and supports various structures in the body, including muscles, bones, nerves, and organs. It is a continuous web-like network that runs throughout the entire body, providing structural support and protection. Often used by physical and massage therapists, myofascial release can help with various conditions, such as chronic pain, headaches, and muscle tightness. By releasing tight spots and improving blood flow, this technique helps restore the body’s natural alignment and function, promoting overall well-being.

In this episode with our return guest, Karen Remele, we talk about how myofascial release can be a powerful healing tool for addressing physical traumas in the body, including those resulting from sexual abuse and reproductive issues among women. Karen's journey began as a modern jazz dancer and instructor until a horrific motorcycle accident changed her life. She is now dedicated to helping others live pain-free existences and educating them on the benefits of myofascial release. Karen is both a licensed physical therapist assistant and a licensed massage therapist. Ultimately, she became a student and expert instructor at John. F Barnes MFR therapy, which she has now practiced for over 25 years

“When you are being treated with myofascial release, internal work is not always where it starts, but externally, trying to correct what can be corrected externally.” [23:20]
“Myofascial treatment depends on all that you need to achieve. Healing is about trusting who you are working with.” [32:55]

How To Access And Listen To Your Intuitive Mind Jul 31, 2024

We all have those inner moments of knowing, those flashes of insight that seem to come from nowhere. It is called the intuition. Tapping into our intuitive capabilities involves embracing this inner knowing and trusting the messages it conveys. By quieting the noise of daily life and reconnecting with ourselves through practices such as meditation, mindfulness, and reflective journaling, we can become more attuned to the intuitive mind. Balancing intuition with the rational mind allows us to make well-rounded decisions, blending the clarity of logic with the wisdom of our inner senses. This harmony leads to more authentic, aligned, and fulfilling life experiences.

In this episode, we talk about the 4 Clairs of Intuition, how to identify them, and how they can help you enhance your life with a returning guest, Lea Morgan. Lea is a psychic medium offering mediumship and intuitive guidance readings. After a career in advertising and interior design, Lea couldn’t shake the pull to fully open up to and understand her intuitive gifts.

Her story is one that shows how spirit can guide you throughout your life by providing the opportunities and experiences needed to hone your skills and ultimately be of service to others. Lea hopes to normalize the perception of psychic work by sharing her own journey openly through workshops, interviews, and information on her website.

Harness the Power of ‘No’ with Accountability Coaching Jul 24, 2024

Boundaries are not just for protecting ourselves from external pressures; they are vital tools for self-care, personal growth, and daily empowerment.

Energy Healing for a Happier Household Jul 10, 2024

Energy Healing for a Happier Household with Katherine MacLane

Energy healing is a holistic practice that aims to balance and restore energy flow within the body to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. It is based on the belief that the human body has an energy field that can be influenced and manipulated to improve health, and these energy fields inform our life’s circumstances and physical bodies. Simply put, your energy ultimately governs your life and impacts everyone and everything around you. But how do you know that you need to shift your energy, and if you do, what things do you need to do on your own to be intentional about seeing a change?

Signs, Synchronicities, and Spirits Jul 10, 2024

Signs, Synchronicities, and Spirits

"Signs, Synchronicities, and Spirits" constitute the fascinating world of psychic mediumship, where the unseen realms intersect with our everyday lives. Recognizing signs and synchronicities can reveal the presence and guidance of spirits, providing insights and connections. A psychic medium plays a crucial role in opening a door to the spirit world, delivering messages, validation, comfort, and direction from the deceased. By interpreting these spiritual markers, psychic mediumship can help you gain a deeper understanding of your own life paths and offer solace and a sense of interconnectedness that guides you toward a more harmonious and spiritually attuned existence.
In this episode, we talk about what psychic mediumship is, why people look for help, its benefits, and how this spiritual guidance can help you reconnect with yourself with a special guest, Lea Morgan. Lea is a psychic medium offering mediumship and intuitive guidance readings. After a career in advertising and interior design, Lea couldn’t shake the pull to open up to and understand her intuitive gifts fully. Her story is one that shows how spirit can guide you throughout your life by providing the opportunities and experiences needed to hone your skills and ultimately be of service to others.

All of her offerings are intended to provide her clients with healing, connection, faith, peace, love, and hope. Lea also hopes to normalize the perception of psychic work by sharing her own journey openly through workshops, interviews, and information on her website.

Free Your Body from Past Trauma with Myofascial Release Jul 10, 2024

Free Your Body From Past Trauma With Myofascial Release (MFR)

Myofascial Release (MFR) is a therapeutic technique designed to alleviate pain and tension by targeting the fascia, a connective tissue that surrounds muscles and organs in the body. This holistic approach addresses not only physical ailments but also emotional and mental trauma, providing comprehensive healing. MFR involves gentle, sustained pressure and stretching to release fascial restrictions, improve mobility, and promote overall well-being. By focusing on the fascia, MFR helps to restore balance and function to the body, facilitating the release of past traumas and supporting a pain-free existence. This therapy empowers people to actively participate in their own healing process, creating a deeper connection with their bodies and enhancing their quality of life.

In this episode, we talk about myofascial release (MFR) and its impact on our ability to heal emotional and physical wounds with a special guest, Karen Remele. Karen's journey began as a modern jazz dancer and instructor until a horrific motorcycle accident changed the course of her life. She is now dedicated to helping others live pain-free existences and educating on the benefits of myofascial release. Karen is both a licensed physical therapist assistant and a licensed massage therapist. Ultimately, she became a student and expert instructor of the John.

Human Design and the Blueprint of You Jul 10, 2024

Human Design and the Blueprint of You
Human Design is a tool to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, both emotionally and physically. Known as the science of differentiation, it provides a unique blueprint for accessing parts of ourselves that are unreachable externally. Unlike purely mental systems, Human Design requires active experimentation and engagement. It integrates past wisdom, learned experiences, and memories while also aligning with the visions we hold for our future. By utilizing human design, you can uncover insights and guidance that are difficult to access through conventional means, offering a holistic approach to self-discovery and growth.

In this episode, we discuss Human Design and how it can help you evaluate your full self through a completely different lens with a special guest, Zach. Zach has been coaching and educating professionally for the last decade, an adventure that has taken him all over the world. The core and foundation of his work is human design, a modern science containing ancient systems for exploring the nature of being. Zach holds advanced degrees in pedagogy, literature, and French, along with certifications in CliftonStrengths coaching and human design.

Zach's primary philosophy, in Ram Dass's words, is that "We are all just walking one another home," He believes in helping others grow, evolve, and reconnect with their true selves through holistic, multi-dimensional support.

“Instead of trying to fix something that feels broken, find where you are already whole and use that as a point of reference.” [19:20]

Spirituality, Religion, and the Rhythm of our Lives Jul 10, 2024

Spirituality, Religion, and the Rhythm of Our Lives

Spirituality and religion, while often intertwined, offer distinct pathways for seeking meaning, connection, and solace in the rhythm of life. Spirituality tends to be a more personal and individualized experience, while religion is typically structured around established doctrines, communal practices, and shared beliefs. Together, spirituality and religion provide a framework for understanding the divine through patterns of prayer, rituals, and community support that help us navigate both the ordinary and extraordinary moments. Whether through the solace of personal meditation or the solidarity of communal worship, these practices can ground us and bring us closer to understanding our place in the world and our relationship with the divine.

In this episode, we talk about the difference between spirituality and religion, how faith can change you, and the role spirituality can play in the darkest times with Rev. Lizzie McManus Dail. Lizzie has lived all over the world with her boots now rooted in Austin, Texas where she is living her dream as the founder of Jubilee Episcopal Church. Lizzy is passionate about the evangelism of a God who makes each of us for joy, which is why you might see her doing silly dances and talking about church history on Instagram and TikTok with her 80K followers.

Process your Past for Peace in the Present with EMDR Jul 10, 2024

Process Your Past for Peace in the Present with EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapeutic approach designed to help process past traumatic events. Developed by Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s, EMDR involves recalling distressing experiences while simultaneously undergoing bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, tapping, or auditory tones. This dual attention process helps to desensitize and reprocess the traumatic memory, transforming it from a vivid, emotionally charged recollection to a more neutral and manageable story. EMDR is grounded in the concept that trauma disrupts the brain's natural information processing, and by re-engaging this process, we can achieve significant emotional and psychological healing.
In this episode, we talk about EMDR and how it can help you process past traumatic events, remove obstacles, and reclaim your healing with Jen Baumgold. Jen is a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist who specializes in trauma treatment. She is certified in EMDR and works with clients to help untangle the knots of trauma while finding a path toward healing and resilience. After graduating with her master's in social work, Jen began her career at the New York Fire Department counseling service unit, where she worked until 2016. During her time there, she provided crucial mental health support to FDYN members and their families.

“You know how to be safe; you know how to feel whole; you just have to remind your nervous system how to feel that, and you can do it on your own.” [24:48]
“Trauma disconnects us from ourselves, creates faulty believes, impacts our ability to trust our judgement and intuition, but healing creates a bigger connection to oneself.” [30:06]

Awaken Your Healing Abilities with Acupuncture Jul 10, 2024

Awaken Your Healing Abilities with Acupuncture
Physical and emotional memories from past experiences, often manifesting as tension, pain, or other symptoms. Achieving peace with acupuncture involves using this ancient healing technique to release these stored memories and restore balance within the body. By stimulating specific points on the body with fine needles, acupuncture encourages the flow of energy, or "qi," which can help dissolve blockages and ease the physical manifestations of trauma. This process not only alleviates physical discomfort but also promotes emotional healing, allowing you to experience a profound sense of peace and well-being.

In this episode, we talk about the difference between spirituality and religion, how faith can change you, and the role spirituality can play in the darkest times with Jacques Depardieu. Jacques is nationally board-certified in acupuncture and traditional Chinese pharmacology and has been practicing for over 25 years. He has a masters in oriental medicine and has been a Qigong practitioner for over 30 years. Jacques is a self-described advocate for the human spirit, having treated thousands of individuals for a wide array of conditions.

The Astrological Assist Your Life's Instruction Manual with Ophira Edut

Do you read your horoscope every day? Maybe you know your zodiac sign but don’t think about it often. Or perhaps you are the skeptical type who always questions the purpose of horoscopes. In this episode with Ophira Edut, we are going to share about three surprising ways astrology can help you navigate your own life and even help you connect with yourself and others in more meaningful ways if you let it. Astrology can be like a guidebook for your life, offering insights and advice based on the positions of stars and planets when you were born. It helps you understand your personality, strengths, and challenges and can suggest the best times to make important decisions.

Ophira Edut is a renowned astrologer and intuitive advisor, the resident astrologer for ELLE, and the author of over 20 books. She advises CEOs, celebrities, and entrepreneurs and has spoken worldwide at major companies and venues. Featured on Bravo, MTV, Good Morning America, and the Today Show, she also created the astrology-based reality TV show Cosmic Love. Her upcoming book, The Astrology Advantage, introduces the IAM System, simplifying birth charts into three archetypes. Her work on "spiritual technology" for business success has been highlighted in Fast Company and global leadership conferences.
